Pierrot vs Peppol
As of January 1, 2026, all invoicing between Belgian companies must be done via e-invoicing. Since we are a Belgian company working with many Belgian clients who use our tools for B2B ticketing, we needed to adapt Pierrot to comply with this new regulation.
To meet this requirement, Pierrot is now fully compatible with Peppol, the network used to securely distribute electronic invoices.
How e-invoicing works in pierrot
If both you (the ticket seller) and your ticket buyer are registered on the Peppol network, Pierrot will automatically generate and send an e-invoice through Peppol.
During the current transition period, we will still send a PDF invoice to the party requesting it. However, once the transition period ends, PDF invoices will be phased out for Peppol-registered parties.
If the requesting party is not registered on Peppol, they will continue to receive a PDF invoice as usual.
Accessing and managing e-invoices
Just like PDF invoices, e-invoices can be downloaded via the admin interface. An e-invoice is generated as a UBL file in XML format.
Please note that once an e-invoice has been created and sent through the Peppol network, it can no longer be edited. If changes are required, you’ll need to:
- 1. Create a credit note, and
- 2. Issue a new invoice via the admin
